Well, the LP64 linear-phaze EQ and multiband compressor are good. I'm not a fan of Boost11 though. Channel Tools might give you the ability to split mid from sides if you need to manipulate the stereo image, or treat the center or sides separately. I say "might be able" because I haven't used it in awhile, after getting some plug-ins from Brainworx and Waves Center.
More importantly, do you have full-range monitors in an acoustically treated room? Or, if someone said "hmm it's a little overbearing around 3KHZ", would you know what a peak around that frequency sounds like?

Hi listers: I'm interested in knowing, what is the best tool for mastering in Sonar 8.5. I think I recall Chris mentioning one, but I cant locate the email. I'm experimenting with the Vintage_Channel_VC64. Chris maybe you can chime in and remind me of which it was. Robert.
